Poster: Perspectives on Increasing Competency in Using Digital Practices and Approaches to Enhance Clinical Translational Research: Preliminary Results of a Qualitative Study
We believe that the quality and efficiency of all phases of the clinical and translational research (CTR) process can potentially be increased by using digital practices and tools in open and networked contexts. However, most CT researchers lack the training to take advantage of the benefits that the Internet and the social Web provide. Standardized training in digital practices and tools (Digital Scholarship) to conduct CTR has not been formalized through structured curriculum, learning approaches, and evaluation. Our overall goal is to develop a robust curriculum to train CTR researchers in digital scholarship. Here we present preliminary data from a qualitative study that describes the range of key stakeholders’ perspectives on the need to: (A) formalize educational efforts in digital scholarship among CTR trainees; and (B) develop an educational framework that defines core competencies, methods, and evaluation methods. Presented at Translational Science 2018 conference in Washington, DC on April 20, 2018.

Strijker & Fisser (2019 06-27) A future-proof curriculum with digital literacySaxion
In November 2014, the State Secretary for Education, Culture and Science of the Netherlands officially launched an online country-wide consultation about the future of Dutch education. Based on the outcomes and the ongoing debate, the Netherlands started the development of a new curriculum framework for primary and secondary education in 2018. One of the new themes in this curriculum is Digital Literacy, which is defined as a combination of ICT skills, media literacy, information literacy and computational thinking. Together with the other subjects (Dutch, Arithmetic/mathematics, English/modern foreign languages, Citizenship, Exercise & Sport, Art & Culture, Human & Nature, Human & Society) Digital Literacy will be part of the design of the new curriculum. A teacher design team for Digital Literacy developed a vision and elaborated this in eight so-called big ideas. Based on the big ideas learning trajectories were designed. These learning trajectories describe what students should learn in primary and secondary education.

Aligning Learning Analytics with Classroom Practices & NeedsSimon Knight
The Learning Analytics Research Network (LEARN) invites you to join us for a talk about the exciting ways in which the University of Technology Sydney is using participatory design to augment existing classroom practices with learning analytics. Simon Knight, a LEARN Visiting Scholar from the University of Technology Sydney, will introduce a variety of projects, including their work developing analytics to support student writing.
Come meet others at NYU interested in learning analytics while learning from the examples of leading work in Australia. A light lunch will be served and the talk will be followed by a short Q&A. RSVP is required.
About Simon Knight
Simon Knight is a lecturer at the University of Technology Sydney in the Faculty of Transdisciplinary Innovation. His research investigates how people find and evaluate evidence, particularly in the context of learning and educator practices. Dr Knight received his Bachelor’s degree in Philosophy and Psychology from the University of Leeds before completing a teacher education program and Philosophy of Education MA at the UCL Institute of Education. Following teaching high school social sciences, Dr Knight completed an MPhil in Educational Research Methods at Cambridge, and PhD in Learning Analytics at the UK Open University.
About Simon’s Talk
How do we make use of data about our students to support their learning, and where does learning analytics fit into that? Educators are increasingly asked to work with data and technologies such as learning analytics to support and provide evidence of student learning. However, what learning analytics developers should design for, and how educators will implement analytics, is unclear. Learning analytics risks the same levels of low uptake and implementation as many other educational technologies if they do not align with educator practice and needs. How then do we tackle this gap, to support and develop technologies that are implemented in practice, for impact on learning?
At the University of Technology Sydney, we have taken a participatory design based approach to designing and implementing learning analytics in practice, and understanding their impact. In our work we have identified existing practices with which learning analytics may be aligned to augment them. This talk introduces some of these projects, particularly drawing on our work in developing analytics to support student writing (writing analytics), giving examples of how analytics were aligned with existing pedagogic practices to support learning. Through this augmentation, supported by design-based approaches, we argue we can develop research and practice in tandem.

Disseminating Scientific Research via Twitter: Research Evidence and Practica...Katja Reuter, PhD
About one-fifth of current scientific papers are being shared on Twitter. With nearly 69 million active U.S. Twitter users (24% of the U.S. adult population) and 328 million monthly active users worldwide, Twitter is one of the biggest social networks worldwide. Understandably, hopes are high that tweets mentioning scientific articles and research findings can reach peers and the general public. Studies show that most of the engagement with scientific papers on Twitter takes place among members of academia and thus reflects visibility within the scientific community rather than impact on society. However, there are ways to reach the broader public. This webinar will provide an overview of using Twitter to reach peers and non-specialist groups, the relationship between tweets and citations, and provide tips for building an academic Twitter presence.

Trial Promoter: A Web-Based Tool for Boosting the Promotion of Clinical Resea...Katja Reuter, PhD
Scarce information about clinical research, in particular clinical trials, is among the top reasons why potential participants do not take part in clinical trials. Clinical trials are vital for the development of novel approaches to advancing medicine, but without volunteers this type of research is impossible. In 2012, the Institute of Medicine recognized the seriousness of the clinical trial participation problem and released a report that identified numerous barriers, including the lack of awareness among patients and physicians that clinical trials are available. New solutions are needed that increase clinical trial awareness and build rapport among patients, physicians, and caregivers with the aim to boost clinical trial engagement and recruitment rates. We have developed and tested Trial Promoter, a Web-based tool that automatically generates and distributes social media messages about clinical trials.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Poster: Perspectives on Increasing Competency in Using Digital Practices and Approaches to Enhance Clinical Translational Research: Preliminary Results of a Qualitative Study
1. INTRODUCTION
• The quality and efficiency of all phases of the clinical and translational research (CTR) process can potentially
be increased by using digital practices and tools in open and networked contexts.
• More traditional phases include hypothesis generation, recruitment efforts, analysis, and more innovative
phases include discoverability of research outputs online through search engine optimization and
crowdsourcing.
• Standardized training in digital practices and tools (Digital Scholarship [1,2,3]) to conduct CTR has not
been formalized through structured curriculum, learning approaches, and evaluation.
Overall goal: to develop a robust curriculum to train CTR researchers in digital scholarship.
• Here we present preliminary data from a qualitative study that describes the range of key stakeholders’
perspectives on the need to: (A) formalize educational efforts in digital scholarship among CTR trainees; and
(B) develop an educational framework that defines core competencies, methods, and evaluation methods.
RESULTS
METHODS
Participants: We recruited via email from June-November, 2017 using purposive and snowball sampling
methods across Digital Scholarship Experts, KL2/TL1 Educators and Trainees, and SC CTSI administrators.
Methods: Online focus groups were conducted using a semi-structured, open-ended interview guide via Google
Hangouts and a conference call interface. Transcripts were audio recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed
using Atlas.ti (Version 8.1.3).
Analysis/Coding: Initial “a priori” codes and definitions were based on the interview guide and “Master’s CTR
Core Competency Areas” [4]. Two coders identified emergent codes and concepts using a framework approach
[5].
Reliability: The coders independently evaluated the first four transcripts to resolve discrepancies and reach
consensus. Inter-rater reliability was used to evaluate consistency between the two coders (kappa=0.68). Coded
transcripts were imported into a single hermeneutic unit in Atlas.ti and coding reports were created.
CONCLUSIONS
• There was consistent support for a structured program to train CTR scientists to develop competency in
digital research practices and approaches.
• Participants considered all existing CTR and additional suggested competency areas relevant.
• New training areas suggested by participants: network analysis, citizen science, crowdsourcing, machine
learning, digital health training, computing, data management and licensing, among others.
• An education program focused on digital scholarship should include a step-wise approach to meet different
research and training goals. allowing attendees to increase their awareness through flexible online learning
modules and lectures as well as specialized in-person and hands-on experience, also including consultations,
coaching, and networking.
• The development of a clear definition for “digital scholarship” in the context of CTR, program goals and
evaluation metrics represents challenges that require further exploration.
• Next steps: To establish consensus among the focus groups attendees regarding necessary components of
a CTR-focused curriculum through a follow-up questionnaire.

Study Population: 164 individuals were approached and 66 participants accepted to participate and included: 1.
International experts from academic and private sector institutions with experience in using digital practices and
approaches in research (n=36), 2. KL2/TL1 Educators (n=8), 3. KL2/TL1 Trainees (n=13), and 4. SC CTSI
Administrators (n=9). The average age was 41.2 years SD ± 9.3, 59% females, 97%, non-Hispanic, 72% White,
and 67% with doctoral degree. Of the 66 participants, 85% reported experience in teaching digital practices and
approaches in research, although 70% were currently not teaching in this field.
RESULTS
Table 1. “Digital scholarship” definition. (Broad definition was provided: “Digital scholars can see the options made
available to them, their students, and their research by new, digital technologies. They have a rationale for taking the
time to learn these technologies and for applying them to their scholarship.”)
Table 3. Competency areas. (Existing CTR competency areas were provided: Literature review, Literature critique, Study
design, Research implementation, Sources of error, Statistical approaches, Biomedical informatics, Regulatory support,
Responsible conduct of research, Scientific communication, Cultural diversity, Translational teamwork, Leadership,
Cross-disciplinary training, Community engagement. New suggested areas were provided: Obtain research
funding/crowdfunding, Research participant recruitment, Internet research ethics, Lab management, Project
management, Performance evaluation, Use of novel scholarly metrics/Altmetrics, Online reputation management.)

General
definition
• Term clarification
• New discipline vs. additional
competency area for CT
researchers
• Broad term including many
activities and users
• More focused definition
• Separate scholar vs. user
• “I think that’s a very succinct definition because technology is forever evolving. I
think the idea of standing still and not looking for fresher ways of working, even if
you use a (…) technology to solve a tiny part of your process, then it’s a useful
kind of idea. I think with technology you can’t stand still if you want to engage with
it. You have to be prepared to get things wrong. And you have to be prepared to
experiment. So I think that that definition you’ve got kind of captures [this] (…).”
• “I would say it’s basically [that] digital scholarship is the use of digital objects in the
process of scholarship, which involves finding them, using them, producing them,
sharing them. It would be any object that can be represented as a series of bits.”
• “I don’t think everybody who uses this is a scholar.”
Definition
in CTR
context
• CTR data
• CTR populations
• “The big thing for me with CTR has to do with the nature of privacy and security
when it comes to data. (…) It is a particular issue when you’re dealing with patient
confidentiality.”

CTR
competency
areas
• All CTR competency areas
amenable to align to a digital
practices/approach
• “I think there’s something digital that can run through all of these.”
• “The idea of taking every aspect of the competency and finding out if there
are digital tools that relate to each aspect of those competencies I think
would be highly beneficial.”
• “I think that all of these topics, the core competency areas, including the
ones that you’ve listed as additional, are actually very important to address
from day one. I think that there are certain, basically you should address all
of the questions, and find a way to allow people who wanna dig into certain
topics to do more maybe on their own time, because that is a lot of ground
to cover, if you look at the whole list of competencies.”
Competency
level
• Basic vs. advanced • "On a very basic level, it seems to me that you should know something
about how digital methods apply in the context of all of these competencies
on a very basic level. Maybe knowing how to become advanced in those
areas is the advanced section that can be self-study if designed correctly.”

General
didactic
approach
• Concepts vs. tools • “[It’s] not how we do the training but what we do the training on. There’s I think a
pretty profound difference between teaching people ideas and using specific tools to
reinforce the learning about those ideas, versus teaching people just how to use
specific tools. It’s likely that people who come out of that course are not going to be
using exactly those same tools or when they go to work somewhere.”
Online
training
• Diverse scholar-centric
formats and platforms
• “You can provide information in a didactic form (…) some kind of video that anybody
can access. But that’s just gonna be an introduction and that’s just gonna lead people
towards the right tool, or maybe help them troubleshoot specific questions, but then
they’ll still need some kind of coaching.”
In-person
training
• Human interaction to
consolidate learning
• Hands-on experience
• “We try to create (…) spaces for them to do that work so that they’re not making
horrific mistakes in public, but that really enable them to do the hands-on exploring.
I’m providing the guidance in how to use [digital tools] appropriately and effectively.”
• “Connect people who are using the same tools so that they can help each other.”
• “Where you meet with someone, you talk about your research and your needs, and
they then identify the types of resources that would be useful for you and here’s ways
to get that information. ‘Cause I think it is very individual in terms of what people need
to learn or what they need for their research projects.”
Lecture • Flipped classroom model • “It’s more efficient for [students] to watch any lectures at home and not for me to
lecture in class, because that way they can go fast on the things they know, slow it
down for the things they don’t understand, watch it on their own time whenever they
have time. I like the flipped classroom model, where anything that’s kind of a didactic
lecture, you put a module up and they watch it on their own, but then anything that’s
hands on you do in class.”

General
approach
and issues
related to
evaluation
• Focus on program goals
and desired outcomes
• Complexity of
competencies
• Lack of understanding of
metrics
• Less focus on metrics
• “I think the harder part is how do you measure whether a participant now using this
digital scholarship has actually enhanced their work? How do you quantify that?”
• “Ultimately I think measuring outcomes to the extent that you can rather than just
usage would be most helpful.”
• “I don’t necessarily think that someone should be judged on how well it ended up
working, especially when you’re just trying to master a skill.”
Suggested
metrics
• Focus on different
metrics and outcomes
• Traditional vs. non-
conventional metrics
• “Maybe I would go back to literacy. I think that’s such a great way to phrase it. Maybe
look at what’s the metric that’s accepted when we consider somebody to become
literate.”
• “Maybe build into the curriculum they have to demonstrate somehow that they’re
actually doing what they say they’re, not just a questionnaire, but to have them tell
you what digital tools they used to accomplish various things.”
• “Ultimately it’d be great to know whether or not there’s an actual effect two or three
years down the road to be able to take data on the people that went through the
program and published and whether or not they’re getting more hits on their articles
or more site views on their projects than people who didn’t go through the program.
